If your main plumbing system breaks or clogs, you probably won’t be able to get potable water from your faucets. Worse yet, the water could no longer be suitable or healthy to use.
Leaky faucets are one of the most common home plumbing problems. Whether it’s a dripping faucet or a wasteful stream of water, leaks can increase your monthly water bill. Depending on how big the leak is, it can even cause water damage!
Leaky faucet repair is usually speedy and inexpensive. Our Expert plumbers can quickly identify the source of the leak, then repair or replace it to restore proper water flow.
Your faucets run both hot and cold water. How to choose the temperature usually depends on the faucet’s design—whether it has two handles or one. Repairing the handle can often resolve the issue.
But if your problem is a lack of hot water, the issue might be more layered. This could be a sign your water heater is damaged, and a professional plumber should be contacted.
A broken faucet decreases water pressure and may even prevent the flow of water altogether. It’s stressful, and the additional pressure can cause other problems deeper in your plumbing system.
How your plumber resolves water flow problems requires knowing what type of faucet you have installed. In some instances, proper water flow can be fixed by simply cleaning the affected component. Other times, the problem can be the seal between your faucet and the water supply.
Keep in mind that these issues are rare. So when the faucet isn’t to blame, your plumber will search for other issues like corroded pipes and clogs (as these also cause the water pressure to fall). Even partially closed valves will lower the water pressure, resulting in weak flow.

A diagnostic fee, also known as a service call fee, is a typical charge levied by HVAC companies when a technician is dispatched to your home to diagnose the root cause of what’s affecting your HVAC system. A diagnostic fee covers the technician’s time, expertise and travel costs associated with determining the underlying cause of the problem. It’s basically a service fee for the technician’s professional inspection to pinpoint the cause of the malfunction.
It’s similar to visiting your doctor. They have to perform a thorough checkup to help figure out what’s wrong before recommending treatment. In the same way, the HVAC technician must diagnose your system to decide on the needed repairs or maintenance.
Once we’ve verified there’s a problem with your faucet, a little more info can help simplify repairs. Don’t forget that severe or widespread damage may make new faucet installation the more cost-efficient choice. Otherwise, you could soon be dealing with another plumbing problem.
The best repairs should start with knowing the type of faucet you use. This doesn’t mean whether it’s a kitchen faucet or a bathroom faucet, but what internal components are in place to deliver potable water. Your plumber will have sufficient experience with different faucet types so they can recognize yours quickly, beginning the repair process that much sooner.
Compression Faucet: This design is the oldest type of faucet still used today. It comes with a rubber washer and two handles to provide adequate water of the correct temperature.
Cartridge Faucet: Available in both one- and two-handle designs. A single-lever design will adjust the flow of water by raising and lowering the valve inside the handle.
Ball Faucet: The most popular type of single-lever faucet. When you move the lever, a plastic or metal ball moves within the faucet, enabling water to flow. Tiny chambers within the ball blend hot and cold water to create the desired temperature.
Ceramic Disk Faucet: Another single-lever design sometimes confused for a ball faucet. These faucets use a valve resembling a cartridge faucet, which goes up or down to provide water flow. In contrast, a ball faucet moves in a spherical direction.
After they learn what kind of faucet you have, the plumber’s next step is locating the initial source of the problem. Most designs can be divided into two portions, the faucet body and one or two faucet handles. Knowing the type of problem they’re dealing with can help further simplify things.
Regardless of what you’re dealing with, disassembling the faucet is often required for repairs. A proper repair kit should have tools like slip joint pliers or a basin wrench for adjusting or replacing any internal components.
Occasionally, your problem can be fixed by simply reaching the specific component and giving it a thorough cleaning. But in case of significant damage, replacing it is generally the right solution. These small pieces aren’t expensive, so you won’t have to worry about steep costs for a new part for the spout, O-ring or any washers.
This could be a little tougher for special faucets, like an outdoor garden hose.
